Ice hockey in the Czech Republic: a national story on the ice

Ice hockey holds a special place in Czech and Czechoslovak sporting history. From the first Bohemian matches to world titles, from the political repression of the 1950s to the rivalry with the Soviet Union, and from the Olympic triumph in Nagano in 1998 to the home World Championship victory in 2024, the ice became a stage for technique, identity and collective memory.
